Dr. Nelson and his staff are very kind, courteous, and knowledgable. My shoulder surgery has been a huge success and recovery has been progressing very well. I had 2 tendons torn loose from the bone and a torn bicep. I am very impressed with the way OSSO is run and with the excellence in the staff. My other shoulder needs attention in the near future and I will definitely see Dr. Nelson for that. I highly recommend him.
